Hi Donna, I have the hougie and Martha stewart boards. Both have their positives, ms is close together so easy to graduate, hougie has cm on one side and inches on th othe so can easily be used for either measurements. Have only had my hougie a few weeks but have found it easy to use especially at my craft group. Have fun choosing and let us know which one you decide on

Get the Scor Pal - The Martha Stewart score board's grooves do not seem to be deep enough and when you are scoring, it tends skip to the next groove. The score tool that comes with it is too sharp and will cut through thin card stock. I have both and but love my Scor Pal. The MS score board is handy for making envelopes and I like the fact that the score lines are 1/8" increments. I use the Scor Pal most of the time. If you go to

I use two boards- a crafters companion one with markings like 'half fold A4, gatefold A4' etc and a hougie board. Because A4 is a strange measurement I like my premarked board for making card bases and it has the box board on the back. The disadvantage of this board is that it is the same size as A4 so you have to check for the chanel. I love the hougie board for steppers and making boxes to attach to cards eg. tealight or cake candle holders. Hougie has 5mm intervals on one side and half inch on other. Only my preferences, but I hope this helps.

I have the MS one and love it, but I haven't tried the others so can't compare. You do need to be a bit careful that the scoring tool doesn't slip out of the fairly shallow grooves, but I still find mine really easy to use. Lisa x

I've not got either, so I'm not talking from personal experience but I've heard some not good reviews for the MS board. If I were to buy one - I'd go for a hougie board - Coops has got one of these ones too - speak to her about it!! HTH. Hugs, Marie xx

hiya donna.i have indeed got the hougie board and i love it.the channels are nice and deep and its double sided which is a bonus.no chance of mislaying it cos the colours horrid but i love using mine for making boxes and centre step and side step cards.someone gave me the link to the scorpal website which has lots of tutorials on, you just need to look at the metric projects and away you go.there is also a mag you can buy for the hougie board but its a bit expensive and you can easily find lots of projects online.hth

A little Bit About Me

I have always enjoyed having a hobby and in recent years I have knitted, cross-stitched and done a bit of sewing but cardmaking took over when I went on a beginners course in 2005. I also enjoy crocheting...nothing too fancy, mainly granny squares and baby blankets. I have a real soft spot for digi images and paper downloads especially gingham, stripes and polka dots.

A Little Plea!

If you are inspired by any of my cards or ideas I am more than happy for you to use them but would ask that you give me credit for the design and that you don't submit any of my designs to any publication as a competition entry. Please donot directly copy any of my cards or use the ideas as your own. I hope you enjoy looking at my Blog.
